Alonso succession at Alpine takes a bizarre turn: Piastri denies signing contract | Motorsport

Team boss previously learned through press release Spaniard’s departure

Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso (41) surprised not only the outside world with his move to Aston Martin, but also his current racing team Alpine. Team boss Otmar Szafnauer told English media that he only found out through the Aston Martin press release that the two-time world champion had signed with another team. The soap took a new turn on Tuesday evening: the racing stable announced a successor this afternoon: reserve driver Oscar Piastri. However, the Australian denies having signed a contract on social media.
